The New York Times relies on an outdated “both sides” model of coverage that focuses on the political horse race and helps their bottom line. But this coverage normalizes Trump and ignores that he’s a threat to our democracy.
We’re not the only ones talking about it:

Now, Salon is calling them out, publishing an article saying “there is something wrong at the New York Times,” and that “things aren’t adding up.”
Before we go further, if you support our mission to hold mainstream news organizations accountable and publish factual, unbiased coverage in our ten battleground states across the country, will you chip in $10 here? [[link removed]]
As 2024 election coverage ramps up, the New York Times has revealed some major issues in its ranks: most notably, a pro-Trump bias.
The outlet has relentlessly covered President Biden’s age, but has mostly ignored the question when it comes to Donald Trump (that was true last week, when Trump called Biden Obama for the third time since November).
The day after that, the New York Times blared a headline that suggested, matter of factly, that Biden was behind Trump in their latest poll because voters think Biden is too old.
We’ve seen this story before. Sensational, both sides coverage is exactly what propelled Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton in 2016, John.
Here’s the thing: Donald Trump is on the ballot, and the New York Times has to cover him. But their coverage should be thorough, factual, and unbiased . That’s where COURIER comes in.
At COURIER, we are committed to providing factual and unbiased coverage, and to calling out organizations like the New York Times who won’t do the same.
We run our ten battleground newsrooms around the country to fight back against lackluster reporting from for-profit news companies, making sure people have access to high-quality news. And we make it free .
But this work takes resources, John, and we rely on the generous support of people like you to help fund our efforts. So if you’re tired of the media constantly putting profits ahead of informative coverage, will you pitch in what you can today and help us keep bringing the facts to communities that need it?
